Will never get tired of listening to this song...and reading these comments. How about you?
In my top few songs of all time. Never gets tired on the ears.
“I am what I am and what will be will be”
Biggest form of protest there ever is.
A ) eg jobb
This is my opium. I'm not even trying to quit.
Some of us are still there after all these years.
:)
I live in Amsterdam and often listen this in the morning to get the stoicism going.
I belive you every word, that u said...
Hey Joop, ya still gettin' that stoicism going in the morning with this song?
I still miss Amsterdam and I've only been three or four times. I miss it like a girlfriend you never quite got over. To be honest I expect most of that feeling is just being able to consume the lovely and helpful Cannabis without being looked down on. It was more than memorable....
How beautifully phrased
@@user-lt9do9yh1q you like Dutch food? That's a first.
Perfect daily song. Perfect holiday song. Perfect song for not giving a damn.
+aasiempre Hahahahahaaaaa!!!!!!!
Yeas
aasiempre YES GOOD SOUVENIR I CAN'T FORGET THE INTE,LIGENCE A D THE SENSE OF HUMOUR AND THE KINDNESS
IT WAS A GIFT TO MEET AN HUMAN BEING
I graduated HS in 1972, that yr or next (wasn't writing it down), I bought a gram of Opium from soldier coming home from Vietnam. Was told it was from Thailand. Never thought of drinking it in tea, we smoked it! It was the best, but only lasted a week, I been through Codeine, Morphine, Heroin, Coke, and others but still remember that OP!
Thankfully it got done quickly or you’d have come home trying to maintain...
I remember my best buddy 😢
lucked into 80’s mda
And we’re damn lucky that the supply dried up because we would Have Bankrupted Ourselves or sold our grandmothers or first born 😮😮😮
Well not Dried Up
Vanished
About eight years ago, my life went to pieces. Coincidentally, I also discovered this song at the time. in the aftermath of the breakdown, I heard the song again. "I am what I am, and what will be will be" became my motto- probably not the intention of Nick Cave, but that being said, keeping that in mind helped me take all the necessary steps to get my shit together again.
Nick Cave's music is such a perfect mixture of oldschool and modern that I can't help but love it.
Absolutely ,like he's been 'preserved' in time .I live about 10 minutes from him and I've seen him cutting a dash almost raven like walking by the beach at night .His son died last year climbing by the cliffs ,very sad indeed
completely agree.. bsides and rarities is amazing and this is one of my very favourites on there! but it takes a while to listen to all of nick caves amazing music! and every album is so different but incredible in its own way..
And this was only an outtake, wasn’t it? Firking brilliant.
Sooo beautiful......you dont need drugs with music like this!!!!
I do
Martin P Casey has to be one of the most underrated bassists out there. Great tone and basslines.
Nice for waking up, gives a positive touch. Everything is possible!
This is not just a pretty little song for me, it's a dream I yearn for with every fiber of my being
Yea....she's beautiful and compassionate and everything you could want in a woman....without being a woman....
+William H. Bonney Then do it?
+Bam Chug Made this comment almost a year ago and her and I are still going steady.....
The Mudpit If it were that straightforward I would be
Bam Chug How's it been
"I am what I am & what will be will be".........love this song
love it, cant wait till 2020 and am 60...OMG WHEN WILL I GET OLD...
You don't slow down you never grow old
Always loved this song and my mom who is definitely not a listener of Nick Cave at all however she always sings this song and likes it.
A complex melody with brilliant phrasing and story telling. A lot of hard work must have gone into this song but they make it seem effortlessly cool. Only the top 1% can pull off this trick.
0.01% mate :))
spot on! i love that bass just breezing through the chord changes.
And its unreleased!
I am going to see Nick in concert live... tonight! 4th of December 2014 at that Gold coast Entertainment Center... Can't wait to see him live!!
ealousy. best regards. )
I just saw him and the Bad Seeds in Nottingham Arena, UK a couple of days ago. Blew me away. It was less of a concert than a communion. His stage presence... He was even walking half way across the arena to sing in front of the seated folks towards the end. He ripped up our souls with I Need You, and then pulled us all back together with Red Right Hand. And the encore... He brought maybe 50 fans onto the stage, letting them just dance around. Nick just kept strolling around, crooning along and every single person just moved aside and let the man do his thing, like stepping aside for a King to pass. The security teams were visibly shitting bricks. But they had no need to be because everyone there was on the same page. At one point Nick asked the fans on stage to sit down, which they all did, and the show was ended with one last powerful Push the Sky Away. What was so amazing to me (in a good seating spot watching from above) was that those standing in the crowd were stood there like the Mannequin challenge, almost motionless, just watching the stage in awe for practically the entire performance.
I can't stop listening to this. Dammit Mr. Cave, you have created some opium for my ears.
Here I sleep the morning through
'Til the wail of the call to prayer awakes me
And there ain't nothing at all to do but rise and follow
The day wherever it takes me
I stand at the window and I look at the sea
And I am what I am, and what will be will be
I stand at the window and I look at the sea
And I make me a pot of opium tea
Down at the port I watch the boats come in
Watch the boats come in can do something to you
And the kids gather around with an outstretched hand
And I toss them a diram or two
Well, I wonder if my children are thinking of me
Cause I am what I am, and what will be will be
I wonder if my kids are thinking of me
And I smile and I sip my opium tea
At night the sea lashes the rust red ramparts
And the shapes of hooded men who pass me
And the moan of the wind laughs and laughs and laughs
The strange luck that fate has cast me
Well, the cats on the rampart sing merrily
That he is what he is and what will be will be
Yeah, the cats on the rampart sing merrily
And I sit and I drink of my opium tea
I'm a prisoner here, I can never go home
There is nothing here to win or lose
There are no choices needed to be made at all
Not even the choice of having to choose
Well, I'm a prisoner here, yes, but I'm also free
Cause I am what I am and what will be will be
I'm a prisoner here, yeah, but I'm also free
And I smile and I sip my opium tea.
This is how the quarantine feels.
Sort of
I fuckin wish
@@Yeldineyintun being an isolated addict is nothing to wish for mate.
Perfect morning music for Covid-19 isolation...
just one more corona shit comment …..
I only started listening to this guy a week ago - thanks to deathly hallows part 2 - and I'm completely, strangely, absorbed by his music.
I only found out about him by accident myself, about nine or ten years ago.
I’m curious; do you still listen to Nick’s music?
One off my favorite songs off all time also.....Soo deep.... Soo personal....
great images...love Nick Cave
makes me think of 'only lovers left alive'... lovely song
Here he is!!!.....amaizing like always!!!, ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤, when I forget my self and I listen Nick Cave, I see me when young and I get back, thanks for everything...
Used love playing this .....roll of foil little bags of sunshine....so empowering ....then I loved it to much and I gave up trying to catch the dragon n started to chase the instant rush .....hmm how I wish I never met that dragon ....
How are you now? I see a poet within you just from those few words. I'm a stranger that's here for you. Also an artist. I'd be more than happy to spend some time chatting with you. You never know, sometimes you can meet the right artist (exactly like Nick Cave) and things can click into place somehow. Just with the slightly different way to see it all.... The offer stands for anyone that reads this as well that needs it. Come say hello and we can cheer each other up...
2019. What a year! I really think I could use some opium tea!
Just love this song.
One of the greatest Australian songwriters ever.
Excuse you, one of the greatest period.
@@jamesgang4433 Yes, He is very good but I don,t think he will ever better the work of Bob Dylan,Leonard Cohen,Bernie Taupin etc.
@@rkearneywilliscroft3524 well that's debatable. I see your point though, you surely named some greats.
@@rkearneywilliscroft3524 The only artist better than Nick Cave is Tom Waits. Leonard Cohen is shit.
Best song ever. God has this on repeat in Heaven.
Simply amazing.
Ah man, this chills me out..
this tune is giving me a buzz
fantastic .....
Nick cave is a great story teller. Poet. Singer. Love 😍
Great song , great pics ......thnx thumps up peace !
I was listening clearly to the lyrics, I just can't believe how accurate this is.
A prisoner with no choice, nothing here to win or lose, but I smile and sip my opium tea, hoping to forget all the pain.
Havin me a cup right now folks !! Feelin mighty fine, it's a sunny day, feelin mighty fine indeed ;)
CrazyFoxAstral let's sit cross from another on these cushions cross legged and chat about life while I chainsmoke, you can have some too if you smoke, friend.. *smiles as i extend my cup* :)
This reminds me of some strange but nice times... It's that organ! Nice Cave songs are just always evokative. There's always a strong mental picture. That's just one reason why I love him dearly mind you....
It is very evocative, it kind of soothes me. Like memories from a past life.
Nick Cave & The Poppy Seeds
I smile as I sip my poppy seed tea
@@raservesthedinner7620 I thought u would never ask......acquire poppy seeds preferably non washed but washed r fine n easier to get. 1 lbs washed 1/4 lbs or less unwashed add to a milk jug or two litter pop bottle n e thing with a cap to close add warm water n grapefruit juice or lemon extract barely submerging the seeds so they're floating round do not use boiling water this will kill the morphine codeine n thebaine which are the three naturally occurring chemicals in poppies. Shake like ur life depends on it shake shake shake!!! Pray to the opium God's at the same time this step is crucial for u r washing off the goodies into the liquid while respecting the maker. Filter with coffee filter or the like I've used socks b4 so it's whatever u can use to drain the liquid through while catching the seeds discard seeds they r of no use but possibly for a second shake....maybe the liquid remaining should b mixed with white grapefruit juice research that to c y. N sipped carefully because in your cup u have the three naturally occurring alkaloids of the papaver somneferium plant. Enjoy n tell big pharma the CIA n drug cartels to go fuck themselves for u r no longer dependent on them for your opiates, opioids r still theirs but the natural shit sits in your cup smile n sip
@@raservesthedinner7620 I appreciate your homage but pray to the universe that has created everything n created consciousness to experience itself my friend
@@jamesgang4433 The guy who taught me that opium seed recipe recently died, he had used opioids for almost 20 years. So remember, overdose can come even if you are a veteran.
@@MasaFinn R.I.P to the fellow. Always respect the opium n sip carefully with a heart full of gratitude.
actual opium tea is GROOVY!this reminds me of a doors song
nick cave is a god
Nick is a modern day genius. Lots of songs, you will like some, you will hate some, but he is a man that asks questions..
love the images--they work with the music
That's simply brilliant!!!! it does make me smile!! :-)
Groovy song!!
Bravo re moutro nickolaki............
is it just me or is this guy one of the few cool singers/writers that's actually good..
Waking up to this song is amazing
Great job man, I love it!
I. Love Nick Cave!!!
Wonderful. On repeat for the whole morning, keep wondering how opium tea taste like.
It tastes like shit, tbh.
wow amazing song! i love nick cave a lot, i can't beleive i havents noticed a lot of his songs i keep finding :D
Makes me wanna travel... Always...
what a beautifull song..o my o my..
"A prisoner here but i'm also free, and i smile and a sip my opium tea.." haha
What is funny about that?
How accurately it portays addiction?
cabbage dusk you ever drank opium tea? I don’t think he’s talking about addiction to it. don’t emphasize the obvious and think/feel deeper.
Nah I think he is right.
"There are no choices to be made at all, not even the choice of having to choose" I think that line captures the essence of addiction. People think it is a choice to do what youre addicted to, it really isn't. You are practically hardwired for it and eventually you will surrender to it. The song to me seems firmly rooted in that feeling to surrender.
that'd be the literal meaning yes. no one can say for sure what hes singing about. I personally think hes going deeper than just opium addiction. "surrendering" is a good idea, but surrendering to something bigger and more tragic like life itself.
wspaniały utwor
This song is about seeing how long you can make a dream last, I feel like.
Vocês também ficam se imaginando dançando essa música???? Mal te conheço e já te amo, Nick Cave.
goth, i love the pictures; thanks for posting
Ah nothin like nick and hydromorphone to get your day started.
New Nick Cave song for me. Totally on form. At his best Nick Cave is as good a songwriter as anyone and an awesome performer.
Saw him with the Bad Seeds twice in London in the late eighties. Was as good as you can imagine it was.
master masters...yes...
I love the Dylanesque organ, it complements Cave's often (in my so-far limited listenings) Dylanesque songwriting.
for me, this is a great hangover song.
first in the morning.
Greatest video ever! I'm surprised no one has noticed the picture at 0.21 seconds! You are my hero! 😁😂🤣
Great tune
Nick's best. In music and how great director ...
this is what happiness and relaxation sounds like :)
Fotos lindas!!!
heroin addiction behind me and as much as i dont ever want to go back there again, i still remember the days it made me feel like this song does...love you nick.your a friggin god
Hope u still good, always this song.
what a great song for a rainy afternoon at work.... off to brew some tea...
great song
you have done a good thing. nice pics.
i smile and chase the dragon while listening about him sipping his opium tea,
I insufflate the opiate.
@sick boy chasing dragon is smokin heroin on tin foil, if u ever done you will understand why it's called chasing the dragon.
Very good
This shit sucks
Noiiiiiiice !!
nice music and good song
Just discovering Nick Cave. Oh gosh, I wish why I haven't met him before!
the comedowns comin..a song for the moment, but the sadness is prevalent in it....
I feel u brotha sick rn
@mrfudgeyhead this is the greatest response in youtube history. Kudos to you good man!
νοσταλγικο ασμα thank you Gordon Coombes
I just love the song and so made a little video to try to capture the mood or essence of the song. Just love Nick Cave a great song writer. His songs appear in various movies such as Wings of Desire (Carny Song) , Theme song for the Scream series (Red Right Hand) and Harry Potter (O'Children) etc.
TRADUCTION FOR ETIN ARCADIEGO THANKS
You too, mate, I'm sure we're in for another fantastic journey with Mr. Nick and his Bad Seeds! :)
Nick Cave is freaking awesome. His is the only Pandora channel I listen to.
My mum gets the same response! lol, She just loves this guy!
Heard this song in a german skate video.
Thank you for that, guys.
he does indeed ask questions!
i'm lookin forward to see him in dresden in june...
This is nice. Makes me curious of this opium tea.
Thanks for putting this song up. Love these lyrics with their capture of the transience of life, and how we can sometimes take solace in the lightness of our being. The music suits it.
Not doubt inspired by Thomas De Quincey...
I'm not convinced the pictures go well with this song though....
I smile and sip my opium tea...
i think that this is so nice written!
greetings nick cave lovers :p
hey bro, my cup is empty, top it up for me. thank yo nick
geia sou anastasi meraklh
yia sou vera, nothing more enjoyable than my morning taste
When I can't score any I put this song on so I don't feel so bad.haha Just listening to someone sing about opiates lessens that fiending feeling.
yep, nice little song for everyday
Nice. I found this song by chance. I'm on poppy tea right now.
Barfed up yet?
